Chaos A.D. - bad mix?

faceman

so i was listenin to this album today pretty loud on a good set of speakers. great album. However for the first time ever i felt that the mix was pretty poor. Some of the tracks raise and lower during varying parts of songs but it sounds like some 8 year is messin with the volume knobs!

Anyone else feel this about the album?

Overall a good album till it was stolen from me, they started to go down hill after arise which I think was their best work beneath the remains a close 2nd.

Tis a good album, good mix, nothing wrong with it at all.

Can you point out some specific tracks or parts of tracks? Purely for research purposes I'll then force myself to listen to them and see if I can hear the volume variations.

propaganda- it stands out most noticeably i reckon. (altho its the most recent song i listened to from it)

Hmm, I've just listened to Propaganda nice and loud on headphones and I couldn't hear anything wrong with the volume at any point.

Was it the CD or a digital rip (MP3/WMA etc)? If it was ripped badly that might account for the discrepencies.

I listened to it as an MP3. If it's any help, here's the MPEG info from Winamp:
